Welcome ABA members:
The American Bandmasters Association represents a history of tradition and service to our profession. As we look to our founder, Edwin Franko Goldman, we continue to refine our mission of promoting the concert band and its repertoire.
The membership of our association represents the outstanding conductors and composers associated with the wind band. In addition to recognizing exceptional musicians through invitational membership into the Association, we collectively pool the resources associated with these master conductors and composers through projects that will benefit all in our profession.
Our national conventions are exciting, entertaining, and educational. They are an opportunity to renew old friendships and establish new ones. This year’s convention promises to offer new experiences and perpetuate our traditions, purpose, activities and philosophies.
Welcome to the Gateway of the West!

1 Colleagues:
Teresa and I would like to welcome you to Fort Worth and the Texas Christian University campus for the 84th Annual Convention of the American Bandmasters Association, March 6-11, 2018. We are thrilled to show you the best of what Fort Worth and our surrounding areas offer.
You will see why Fort Worth is known as the city “Where the West Begins” and why Fort Worth is considered “the museum capital of the Southwest.” You can explore six museums, all world-famous for their architecture and collection quality. Of course, no visit to Fort Worth is complete without a stop at the legendary Stockyards National Historic District. Unique attractions such as the Fort Worth Herd – the world’s only twice-daily cattle drive – thrill visitors year-round. Top country music performers play the stage at Billy Bob’s Texas, the world’s largest honky-tonk, and a live rodeo takes place every weekend at the Cowtown Coliseum. Shopping for handcrafted cowboy boots, hats, clothing and souvenirs is abundant in the Stockyards. Our visit to Grapevine, Texas will include a glass blowing demonstration, shopping and wine tasting and end with a ride home on a VINTAGE TRAIN with live jazz and wine! You may also choose to enjoy a golf outing at Texas Star, one of the area’s best courses.
The TCU campus is beautiful, and your experience here will start on Wednesday evening with a complimentary “WELCOME DINNER” at our beautifully renovated football stadium’s CHAMPIONS LOUNGE. And yes, your welcome to Texas will start with some fabulous Texas BBQ!
The School of Music offers the grand traditional Ed Landreth Auditorium for many of our concerts. In addition, you will be able to experience the truly world-class Bass Concert Hall in downtown Fort Worth for a concert by the Dallas Winds.
Teresa and I, the Planning Committee, and the entire TCU Band Faculty and Staff are excited to welcome you to Fort Worth,Where the West Begins – City of Cowboys and Culture. Boots are optional.
Sincerely,
Bobby and Teresa Francis

Office of the Dean
Welcome from the Dean:
We are delighted to welcome the American Bandmasters Association to Texas Christian University. We support and applaud your goal of championing the value and significance of concert bands and their repertoire.
Please join me in thanking the organizers and hosts of this event: Bobby Francis, Brian Youngblood, Matt Garrett, and their wonderful staff and graduate students. The TCU Band Program has been very active over the past few years; the Wind Symphony recently performed in a major concert at Bass Hall featuring the music of our visiting Green Chair professor John Corigliano, including the epic Circus Maximus. Additionally, the group recently performed at the Texas Music Educators Association Convention. The Symphonie Band was featured at the SW Region CBDNA in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The Horned Frog Marching Band has been busy with home games, exhibitions at area marching band competitions, the Big 12 Championship game, the Liberty Bowl, the Peach Bowl, and returned this year for a second visit to San Antonio for the Alamo Bowl.
The College of Fine Arts at TCU, like our band program, is committed to excellence. In addition to our stellar School of Music, we offer performing arts programs through our School for Classical & Contemporary Dance and Department of Theatre. The College of Fine Arts is also home to the School of Art, the Department of Graphic Design, and the Department of Interior Design & Fashion Merchandising. Our unique learning laboratory here in Fort Worth draws together the resources of TCU's welcoming campus and the outstanding arts and culture organizations of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. We hope you can take the time to visit some of these venues while you are here.
Our learning community extends nationally and globally through our commitment to global citizenship and study abroad. We are also a vital contributor to the arts community of North Texas. We host an exciting slate of visiting faculty, guest artists and performers who share their distinctive expertise with the campus community. We hope we can attract you to return for one of these exciting events. You can learn more about our programs at: https://finearts.tcu.edu/.

7 Edwin Franko Goldman – (1878-1956) Founder of The American Bandmasters Association 1929 President 1930-32 Honorary Life President 1933-1956
8 THE AMERICAN BANDMASTERS ASSOCIATION – A BRIEF HISTORY
Edwin Franko Goldman’s concept that later developed into The American Bandmasters Association originated in the 1920s as a result of his experiences and observations in the world of professional music making. Goldman’s importance was significant in that his ultimate fame came as head of the Goldman Band. The ABA’s formal organization took place at a meeting in New York City on July 5, 1929. Those in attendance named John Philip Sousa the organization’s first Honorary Life President. Incorporation followed in New York State on March 13, 1930. On that same date, the First Annual Convention took place in Middletown, Ohio, under the sponsorship of the American Rolling Mill Company with Frank Simon and his band as hosts.
The original constitution of The American Bandmasters Association states: "The object of this organization shall be mutual helpfulness and the promotion of better music through the instrumentality of the concert band. To this end the Association will strive to secure the adoption of a universal band instrumentation so that the band publications of all countries will be interchangeable, to induce prominent composers of all countries to write in the larger forms for bands, to establish for the concert band a higher standard of artistic recognition which it rightfully merits."
From the Association’s beginning, the emphasis has been on "mutual helpfulness," and the first convention began with meaningful implementation of this concept. In 1930, the roster of The American Bandmasters Association included 34 active members and eight associate members. Annual conventions were held on a regular basis from 1930 through 1941, and an impressive record of achievement soon became apparent. The advent of World War II brought about an interruption of all normal activities, and no further conventions were held for a period of five years. During that time, many ABA members served with great distinction in the various theaters of the world. Annual meetings resumed in 1947 in Elkhart, Indiana, and have taken place annually to date.
The American Bandmasters Association has kept pace with changing times; however, its principles have never been compromised. Its constitution continues to stress helpfulness and fellowship among members and calls for the recognition of outstanding achievement in the field of the concert band. The Association is an honorary organization for concert band conductors and composers of distinction and is recognized as such throughout the world.
In addition to providing a forum for closer contact between leading members of the profession, the impact of the Association has been felt through a number of laudable efforts of historic value and artistic merit. The following should be mentioned: the establishment of a standard instrumentation for American bands; the promotion of original concert band works through commissions and competitions; the creation of The American Bandmasters Association Research Center at the University of Maryland; the initiation of the Journal of Band Research, published by Troy University (Alabama); and the incorporation of The American Bandmasters Association Foundation, Inc., which supports new concert band composition contests (the Sousa/Ostwald Award being the most significant) and other worthy ABA projects. Also to be noted are the Sousa Memorial Stage at the Kennedy Center and the election of John Philip Sousa to the Hall of Fame for Great Americans. The Association recognizes professional contributions by people who are not conductors or composers with the Edwin Franko Goldman Memorial Citation of Excellence.
The annual conventions of The American Bandmasters Association are truly significant occasions combining superb performances, professional gatherings, and social events. On occasion The American Bandmasters Association has been host to members and performing organizations from the Japanese Band Directors Association. A complete list of the conventions is included in this program. In each case the list includes the convention location, dates, and the name of the president elected for the ensuing year.

Florence Shloss Guggenheim - 1863-1944
When Florence Guggenheim died at age eighty, she was recalled in newspapers across the country for her generous support of many causes and her active political and philanthropic contributions to the institutions she had supported.
Florence Shloss Guggenheim was born on September 3, 1863, in Philadelphia, the daughter of Lazarus and Barbara (Kahnweiler) Shloss. She married Daniel Guggenheim on July 22, 1884. As part of the Guggenheim family, Daniel was on the board of directors of the American Smelting and Refining Company. The Guggenheims had two sons, Robert and Harry, and a daughter, Gladys Guggenheim, who would later marry Roger W. Straus of New York, who cofounded the publishing house Farrar, Straus, and Giroux.
In her younger years, Florence Guggenheim was fond of sports, particularly horseback riding and golf, which she played near their Long Island home. Her interests included art and especially music, which later became the focus of much of her philanthropic work. Together she and her husband shared philanthropic interests that became a trademark of the Guggenheim family. Florence Guggenheim played an active role in Jewish affairs as well as in women’s civic endeavors. During World War I, she was involved in the sale of Liberty Bonds and in the area of aviation, which was a particular avocation of her husband’s. She was a director of the National League for Women’s Service and held what was reputed to be the record for individual sales of Liberty Bonds. Florence Guggenheim was a long-standing member of Congregation Emanu-El and for twenty years served as the treasurer and trustee of the Emanu-El Sisterhood of Personal Services.
As philanthropists, Florence and Daniel Guggenheim were best known for sponsoring the free outdoor concerts in Central Park and at Columbia and New York Universities (The Goldman Band). They were joined in providing the funds for these endeavors by family members Mr. and Mrs. Murray Guggenheim. After the death of her husband in 1930, as a memorial, Florence Guggenheim continued to support the concerts.
In 1924, the Guggenheim Foundation was formed by the family to make their participation in charities more efficient. Florence Guggenheim served as president and a director of the foundation, which supported a variety of artistic causes and institutions.
In 1937, she was honored by being elected to a Life Associate Membership in the American Bandmasters Association.
Florence Guggenheim died in New York City on May 13, 1944.

ETIQUETTE for THE STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER The National March of the United States
A suggested CODE OF CUSTOMS pertaining to the playing of our National March as adopted on March 2, 1988 by the American Bandmasters Association 1. There are no restrictions on the use of the march. It is in the public domain. 2. It should not be played in lieu of the National Anthem. 3. Military bands will use the last 32 bars of the trio as the honors march as prescribed by appropriate Department of Defense regulations. 4. The following recommendations will help preserve the dignity and integrity of this great addition to our American musical heritage: a. The National March should be programmed and performed in a manner that will not impinge upon the patriotic character of the composition (school songs, erratic tempos, rhythmic and meter variations, etc.). b. Special arrangements for various musical units should maintain the original melodic and harmonic integrity of the march (concert arrangements for all age groups, jazz interpretations, etc.) c. The nature of public events will dictate the propriety of including the National March as part of the musical presentation. d. Creative staging and special effects must be controlled in order to display proper respect to the purpose and intent of programming the National March (spotlights, fireworks, display of the American Flag, instrumentalists being staged, etc.).
ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS 1. It was the practice of the Sousa Band to have the cornets, trumpets, trombones, and piccolos line up at the front of the stage for the final trio. Many bands still perform the piece this way. Dramatic effects of this type are encouraged. 2. Sousa also made musical performance changes from what he had written.
Keith Brion states the following regarding performance changes: these included elimination of the trumpets and trombones at the first statement of the second strain, elimination of the percussion at the first trio, and elimination of the trumpets and the trombones at the first and second trio. In addition, the clarinets stayed in their lower octave the first time through the second strain and during the first two trios.
Keith Brion. The Stars and Stripes Forever, Program and Performance Notes. Hal Leonard 50 PROGRAM NOTES
No piece of music has done more to arouse the patriotic spirit of America than this beloved composition. Written in 1896, The Stars and Stripes Forever initially received a less than overwhelming response, but with the beginning of the Spanish-American War in 1898, the march found its place in the hearts of the American public. Sousa incorporated it effectively in his patriotic pageant, The Trooping of the Colors. Following this inclusion, The Stars and Stripes was performed on every concert of the Sousa Band. On January 10, 1988, President Reagan signed Public Law 100 designating the Stars and Stripes Forever as the National March of the United States.
WHAT INSPIRED SOUSA TO COMPOSE THE STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER?
While returning from a European vacation, Sousa experienced one of the most vivid incidents of his career in December 1896. As his ship sailed out of the harbor, he was pacing the deck, absorbed in thoughts of the many decisions he had to make upon returning to the United States. Suddenly, he began to sense the rhythm of a band playing within his brain. Throughout the voyage, that imaginary band continued to unfold the same theme, echoing and re-echoing the most distinct melody. He did not transfer a note of that music to paper until he reached shore. On Christmas Day, he wrote that which had been playing in his mind.
